Notes

Studio recording, 2001. Rob Harris joined Jamiroquai for 'A Funk Odyssey' and is credited for guitar on 'Love Foolosophy'. No direct studio photos or interviews confirm exact gear, but live and era-matched sources, plus genre, strongly indicate Strat + Fender Twin for clean funk. No evidence of distortion/overdrive pedals in riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate funk rhythm skills, including tight muted strumming, ghost notes, and dynamic control for a clean, percussive sound. The tempo and articulation make it moderately challenging for most players.
